''The Wool-Pack'' is a children's historical novel written and illustrated by Cynthia Harnett, published by Methuen in 1951. It was the first published of four children's novels that Harnett set in 15th-century England. She won the annual Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising it as the year's best children's book by a British subject.〔 G. P. Putnam's Sons published the first U.S. edition in 1953, entitled ''Nicholas and the Wool-Pack: an adventure story of the Middle Ages''.〔 In 1984 it was reissued under yet another title, ''The Merchant's Mark'' (Minneapolis: Lerner). Both American editions retained Harnett's illustrations. A television miniseries based on the story was broadcast by the BBC in 1970.〔 ==Plot summary==
